The Belgian side can no longer qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League but the Serbian is nevertheless likely to feature at the Westfalenstadion, with the Brussels side keen to build momentum ahead of a potential run in the Europa League.

Rumoured to be valued at around £15 million by his current club, Mitrovic made headlines last month after netting Anderlecht’s third and final goal in a 3-3 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates that saw the Belgians battle back from 3-0 down.

A target man at 6ft 3in, the striker has scored 28 goals in 61 appearances for Anderlecht since joining the club from Partizan Belgrade for €5 million in the summer of 2013.

Capped 10 times by Serbia, Mitrovic has found the net once for the national side to date, scoring in a 1-1 draw with Croatia played back in September of last year.

A highly-rated youngster, the striker was a key part of the Serbia side that won the UEFA Under-19 Championship of 2013, winning the Golden Player award for a series of match-winning performances.
